I propose that improper case is ruled out by the Ban on Improper Case: a DP in [Spec, XP] cannot establish a dependent-case relationship with a lower DP across YP if Y is higher than X in the functional sequence. I show that this constraint falls under a strong version of the Williams Cycle (Williams 1974, 2003, 2013; van Riemsdijk and Williams 1981) and is derived under Williams\u0092s (2003, 2013) analysis of embedding.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker: Suzana Fong (MIT) Title: Discussion of Poole (2020), Improper Case [download: https:\/\/ling.auf.net\/lingbuzz\/004148 ] Time: Tuesday, September 8th, 1pm - 2pm Abstract: &#8220;This paper argues that case assignment is impossible in configurations that parallel generalized improper-movement configurations.
